WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER EDITION

I'm linking to WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY with some of my favorite bloggers!

Make sure you also check out these favorite bloggers - Shay - Mel - Sheaffer.

WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK -- Mr. Cardigan had a birthday a few days ago and we celebrated with food!!!! We had dinner one night at the Marblehead Galley, pastry for breakfast the next day & dinner that night at Famous Dave's!!

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT -- My two grandsons and how they are getting too old for me to handle!!!! The older one is now a freshman in college. Here is a collage of his mother (Little Cardigan) and me at his high school baccalaureate.

The younger grandson is now a sophomore in high school. He is on the basketball team & I edited just him from the team photo taken last week.

WHAT I'M LOVING -- My almost fully decorated home is nice & tidy (aka stashed/hidden). I love all the decorations and trees lit at night. This is a little preview of my Mittens & Skates tree.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO -- Continued to celebrate Mr. Cardigan's birthday with a trip to the Cleveland Horseshoe Casino & it was a good trip for him!!

WHAT I'M DREADING -- This is not the time of year for dreading! I'm trying to enjoy & look forward to it all!!

WHAT I'M WORKING ON -- My gift to all my Ornament Exchange Party guests. I have it on a 'secret' Pinterest board & can share it with you on a later post.

WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT -- Everything about this time of year excites me. The decorations, food, holiday movies, sending Christmas cards & the enjoyment of it all makes me so happy!!

WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND -- The 'Plan' (I made a very intensive decorating schedule!) is to be all decorated by this Saturday (9 themed trees 3' & higher plus tons of other decos) and then do my Christmas Cards while listening to Christmas music while sipping my drink in a holiday glass.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH -- Just every single holiday filled day!!! I plan for each day to be filled with Christmas Cheer, holiday plans & special foods.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW -- Our high school basketball season starts next week and I'm so excited to watch the grandson I was telling you about play. He is on both jv & varsity so I'll be staying for both games this year!!!

BONUS - WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHRISTMAS TRADITION -- Christmas morning food (You notice there's a lot of talk about food here?) -- since Christmas 1984 we have had shrimp cocktail, nut rolls, & kielbasi. Even once when in Florida for Christmas we had all but the kielbasi. Hauling the nut roll in a carry on & going to the store for the shrimp and sauce was enough!!

We received the best Thanksgiving card from Little Cardigan and I couldn't believe what a match it was to Lucy. In fact, I think Lucy is looking a bit shocked herself at the similarity.
